In Reflections on War, the editors and contributing authors succeeded in covering a broad range of issues in the discourse on war and conflict. The study investigates the crucial links between theory, strategy and objectives in war, and indicates the relevance of theory for understanding and explaining the timeless and constant phenomenon of war. Special attention is drawn to when and how not to go to war. While the broad spectrum of chapters reflects the realist paradigm, they also clearly point out the dangers and moral dilemmas of going to war, showing an awareness of the moral issues and complications of mass-armed conflict. This comprehensive work deftly draws a multitude of insights together from international legal theory, management sciences, military history, sociology, international political economy and international politics, as well as the political economy of war. The book is meant for scholars and military experts; experienced and reflective military practitioners will benefit from the work.
